As a thank-you for such a successful year with Chip Damage we’re going to be holding a Holiday Party for all our friends!

On December 18th at the University of Manitoba, come down to the GSA Lounge in University Center. Admission is free and open to everyone. The party will start at 4 and we’ll be having dinner around 6. I believe we will be serving Pizza and Fried Chicken. You’re also encouraged to bring drinks and snacks too. Like all of our gatherings, we will have stations for casuals open to everyone, and as always BYOC. In addition to that, we also will have board games and party games to play at the event. You are also encouraged to bring your own games.

We’ll PM you your Secret Santa name on December 5th. If you happen to not know what kind of gift to get for your Secret Santa, we will try to give you some info for a gift.

We’ve had a busy weekend and C4 2010 has come and gone. We’re very excited to mention we got some new players interested in our little club so watch out for some unfamiliar faces this coming Friday. From what we hear, C4 2010 was a huge success and C4 2011 has even bigger and better things in store for us.

The tournament was a hit with 31 competitors and some of our biggest (and sexiest) prizes yet. Our congratulations go out to our Top 3: Shane, Graeme and Mike. The MVC2 Gauntlet was a great event — even if it did end a little quicker than anyone expected and We’re excited to be handing out two new copies of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 when the game drops.

I’ll start with giving big props to Duong for hooking us up that loaner TV for watching match-play. He selflessly organizes our tournaments and is a big reason they run smoothly and on time. Duong is such an important part of Chipdamage; I have no idea where we would be without his dedication to the scene.

Next up is Korea. Thanks for organizing things, bringing equipment and letting me help you run our events on the floor this weekend. James is the reason we’re all here in the first place. Chipdamage and it’s other names like the original SSGA and now Games on Campus are James’ vision and we wouldn’t be anywhere without him. None of us can thank him enough for what he’s accomplished within this city. Also James, Make sure to give ‘em hell at Canada Cup; we’ll be cheering for you at home.

Of course Duong and James are to thank for us even being at C4 in the first place. Good work  for helping us get such great exposure at such a huge event. We extend our well wishes and gratitude to Ariel for helping us get in the door at C4 at all.

Thanks also to Tyler for working out the Friday event lineup. You really are a showman and you know what the people want to see. Your work definitely made it worth being at the Con on Friday. Keep those ideas coming.

Matt is a great sport for putting his rep on the line with the MVC2 Gauntlet. You’re also a big contributor to our tournaments and your organizational skills when it comes to brackets and making sure matches run without a hitch are unmatched.

Thanks to Shane for his ongoing effort to make us all work harder at our game. Congrats on First Place and thanks again for your continued generosity to our scene with your equipment like that super cool HDMI splitter. Also, keep up the amazing work with giving us online exposure with your YouTube videos.

I wish I could have played Graeme this weekend but I guess he was just too busy making others look utterly free. Thanks for chipping in with finding a prize for fourth place, and thanks for making sure Jericho got Fourth Prize. Good work getting second and remaining one of our most consistent players.

Bmike, don’t be discouraged with Super. Sometimes SSF4 can be a very unfair game. You are one of our absolute best players and a big inspiration to a lot of us here – not to mention a great teacher. Keep putting work in with Cammy and don’t stress about what’s in store for her in AE. These things are never as bad as you think they’re going to be. I know you’ve got warrior spirit and I know you’re going to do great at BaseLAN.

James H is another player who looks like he’s had enough of SSF4. Despite what you think, you’re a strong competitor and fun to play with. I know how it feels to never do well in tournaments but you also have to keep in mind that it takes a lot of work to get where our top players are. I have yet to beat your Adon with my Gouken and I’m sure that with a few changes to your play you can really start tearing things up with him. He’s a strong character and you’ve got some sneaky tricks.

Even though I hate to admit, Dave put me exactly where I belonged in the tournament this weekend. His focused and adaptive play style showed me that I need to make that same effort with my own game. I will still say that I’m definitely salty about my loss and I’m going to have to make sure to run it back at our next tournament.

Congrats to Jericho for fourth place (sexy place). Thanks for the great games on Sunday and showing me what that nasty Gen is all about. I don’t know if I’ll be ready to take you on when we meet in a tournament for this first time but I’m going to make sure to at least steal one game from you.

Thanks to Ian for coming out, taking pictures and playing some games. Your Sakura’s getting better and you’ve got to keep it up. Make sure to let us know where you’re putting those photos so we can post them on our site too.

Thanks again to everyone who showed up for making Section G at C4 a success. Both the audience and competitors were the loudest, hypest and most excited people at the Con. We love the enthusiasm you all showed this weekend. Regardless of your skills, knowledge or confidence, we need each and every one of you to make sure you come out to every event we have. The players and the people who watch them are what give us our inspiration to keep holding our events and tournaments. We’ve grown a lot in the past five years and we still have a lot of growing to do. We need you to be here and take part so we can make Chipdamage and the Winnipeg Scene a major contender in competitive fighting games.
